No, they really are in demand. So are many jobs in health care, including CNAs, DAs and CMAs. Nursing homes I would guess have the most trouble keeping nurses. Just check out how many RN or LPN jobs are listed in the paper.

My wife is a Hospice and Palliative care nurse - the demand for all aspects of nursing is huge - here in Texas we are recruiting and hiring hundreds of professionals from Canada each year since we can't fill the positions with local citizens and the Canadians are eager to come where they can practice their profession as they were trained and not the lick and a promise shoddy "give 'em a pill" and get to the next one assembly line of socialized medicine.

Absolutely, nurses are in high demand. Newspaper want ads consistently show demand. But take a moment to ask why.
From working in shifts to caring for people who are sick, the work is really difficult in physical and emotional dimensions. Like teachers, nurses' salaries are set by institutions who get indirect benefit from their services.

I'm honestly suprised this is a question. Aye. Nursing will always be in demand. We need nurses now more than ever. Get your RN. There will never be a reason to be unemployed. Unless your lazy.

Absolutely. The shortage has hit some areas of the country harder than others, but in the next 10 years, as the baby boomer population increases, and as the general health of our nation declines as the direct result of the growing obesity epidemic and all the consequences it brings like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc., there will be no trouble finding a job in nursing.
